Life after Aerial 10Ts...

I've had a pair of Aerial 10Ts for 12 years... I've loved them & they're still in great shape but... I got this audio-itch in need of scratching and I'm curious to hear what else is out there.

Sonically, what I've loved about the 10Ts is their full-range, wide and deep soundstage, and sense of in-the-room musicality... I don't listen at high levels too often. Music is an ecletic mix of jazz, rock, blues, folk, classical and bluegrass.

For all of you past owners of 10Ts... what did you replace them with and why? Regrets?

Financial constraints dictate that my curiousity must remain under $10k or so, so please don't mention the 20Ts... would if I could but just can't afford to go there.

Any insights are greatly appreciated!

the 'waf' is satisfied by keeping the money you would have spent to go on a sideways change. the 10t's are benchmark speakers, even today.

Jaybo, you know my wife... *g*

Actually, I hope you're right... the 10Ts have proven to outlast all other audio equipment I've owned. I just think it would be interesting to go out and check...

If you like the 10t sound, I would avoid metal tweeters
on anything new.

If you can audition a pair, The Montana EPS 2s are worth checking out.

Not everything new is necessarily better than the old.
The 10T was and IS avery good speaker and I doubt you will get much better sound and the same bass by spending 10K.
Wait and save up for the 20T.
You do not see many secondhand 10T up for sale, do you?
People keep them.
